Sunday m Mexico.

A Sunday in Mexico is one long feast
of champagne, without headache the
next day. When the fist streaks of
dawn appear in the east people bob out
from this street and that, hostlers hurry
horses off to private residences, gay
riders whirl by as if eager to catch the
shades of night as they are sinking in
the west, and by half-past six it looks
as II all Mexico was on horseback.
Ladies wear beautiful costumes, dark
habits, short skirts, silver and gold
buttons and broad sombreros. Men
display greater variety of costumes;
some wear yellow buckskin suits
trimmed with gold or silver, others
have q drab skin suit artistically
trimmed, still others wear light cloth
suits and high boots, buttoned at the
side and reaching the knee. A belt
holding revolver, and q Mexican
saddle to which is fastened q sword,
complete this beautiful riding suit. And
then what ridersl It Is the poetry Of
motion; they are as but part OF the
perfect horse they ride. Take the
beautiful horses, artistic outfit, grand

pretty sombrero, and you have Mexi-
can scene which is irresistible. Even
Americans are q thousand times hand
somer when they don this outfit, and it
is safe to wager that if the men in the
States would adopt the Mexican riding
suits there would not be single man
